Ward 2 councilor Hillary Wylie hasn’t filed for re-election, according to the recorder’s office website. But a familiar face in Springfield politics has filed for her seat: Steve Moe, a longtime former Springfield and Lane County planning commission member.

“I’ve always thought I could do some good in that position,” Moe said.

The longtime owner of Glenwood-based Intercity Engineering moved into Springfield’s city limits a few years ago, giving him the opportunity to run this year.

“I want to continue doing what I can for the city,” he said.

Wylie didn’t immediately return a message seeking comment about her election plans. Candidates have until March 6 to file for the May 15 election.

VanGordon faces an election challenge from Michael Morris, a former Symantec employee and current Lane Community College student. Morris said he wants to focus on health care and environmental issues if elected to the council.

Of all the candidates to file so far, only Moe has collected the 25 signatures from residents in a candidate’s ward needed to appear on the ballot.

VanGordon was appointed to represent the Springfield City Council Ward 1 in 2011, replacing Christine Lundberg after she was named mayor. The ward covers the northwest part of the city from Interstate 5 east to 15th Street, and from the northern edge of the city to Highway 126.

Wylie was elected to the Ward 2 seat in 2006, and won unopposed races in 2010 and 2014. The ward covers the southwest part of the city, including downtown.

Woodrow was elected to the Ward 5 seat in 2010 and again went unchallenged in 2014. No one has filed against her this year, according to the city recorder’s office. Ward 5 spans from 42nd Street east to Bob Straub Parkway.

Though each councilor represents a geographical ward, Springfield residents can vote for candidates in all council races under the city’s voting laws, not just the councilor in the ward where they live.

If a race draws three or more candidates and none receives more than 50 percent of the total vote in the May election, the two candidates with the most votes would advance to a runoff election in November.

Correction: The 2018 primary election is on May 15. A previous version of this story incorrectly listed the election date as May 18.
